The Office: Baby Shower

So last night's episode was about the baby shower for Jan (you know Michael's ex girlfriend that is pregnant by a sperm donor). I have to say that it was pretty funny. Much better than last week. I could watch the opening scene several times over I think. Michael needs to prepare for when Jan gives birth so he has Dwight create several scenarios via the birth of a watermelon. Oh it was hilarious!!! Michael goes to check on the planning of the shower and turns out he has M&M's with a boys name "Chevy" and a girls name "Astird". Nice. Well how about a nice surprise, Jan shows up to the shower with the baby. I loved her singing "Son of a Preacher Man" to the baby. Uh very inappropriate if you know the meaning of that song. I felt so bad for Michael. However he redeemed himself when Jan asked him not to date Holly and he walked right in and hugged her. Usually Michael is such a pushover but I think this was just the last straw. I was afraid they would just drag out that flirting friendship between Michael and Holly. Oh & I felt bad for Jim & Pam but at the end, you could see they both felt they were just having a bad day.

Before I get to my favorite lines, I need more Creed but not too much. I couldn't take him as a main character but he needs more screen time like Kevin. Creed's line was my favorite of the night.

Now time for my favorite lines/exchanges:

Michael: Aaaaaaaa! It's coming! Here we go! [drops the watermelon onto the floor] Oh! God! Wow! What was on that?
Dwight: Butter. Newborns are slippery.
Michael: Nice touch. Good. Let's try that again.

Michael: I know. I know. It is beautiful. No. Thank you. Is this it? I mean, is this... Two bowls of M&Ms and some balloons? You know what Phyllis, I think you need to step it up. I think you need to get the lead out. Because if I'm not mistaken, we gave you your wedding shower here. We all came into this room and gave you a golden shower. Well you know what, where's my golden shower, Phyllis?

Dwight: Who's Sarah Kayacombsen?

Michael: Um, listen. Jan Levinson is coming in today, and she is in the terminal stages of her pregnancy - the child of which I have a vested interest. It's all kind of weird. Anyway, she is incredibly... fat and enormous right now - extremely unattractive. And you are, on the other hand, one of the more attractive people in the office. So, while she's here I am going to be acting kind of cold to you. And I am doing this to pay respect to her bloated feelings. And I'm treating Ryan the same way.

Dwight: Jan had the baby and Michael wasn't there to mark it. So the baby could be anybody's. Except Michael's.

Dwight: [heaving the stroller into a tire yard] Don't hit the fence. Oh no, my child!

Dwight: [heaving the stroller into a tire yard] Don't hit the fence. Oh no, my child!

Dwight: [heaving the stroller into a tire yard] Don't hit the fence. Oh no, my child!

Angela: You gave birth in a tub?
Jan: Yeah, it's a really nice transition from womb to world, you know, kind of like a big womb.
Kelly: Um, so you're in the tub with everything?
Jan: Oh, yeah, the afterbirth floats, yeah.
Creed: Must be like the tide at Omaha Beach. (best line of the night)



Jan: [wakes up on the reception couch] Oh. I was just catching up on my sleep.
Holly: I can imagine.
Jan: Where's Astrid?
Holly: Oh, I think she's on a sales call.
Jan: On a what?
Holly: Waaa! More paper! Waaa! [she cracks herself up but Jan is unimpressed] No, she's just on a coffee break.
Jan: [sarcastically] That's funny.
Holly: She's with Angela

Michael: I didn't feel much when I held Astrid, but I got a good feeling from Holly.

Michael: Yeah, I a baby daddy. Um, when you first became a baby daddy, did you have an immediate connection with that baby? Like, the first time that you held it, did you find that with your baby baby?
Darryl: Hell yeah. You know why? Because that was my baby.
Michael: I just saw this baby daddy-
Darryl: You should stop calling yourself "baby daddy."
Michael: Why, Darryl, because I'm quote white quote unquote?
Darryl: Because you're not a daddy, and it's not your baby.
